Conversations on the dance floor

I have found working with horses has made me a better dj. When working with a horse, it's all about the conversation. Does the horse know what you are saying? If I ask my horse a question does my horse say "ok, I know what you want, here is the answer." or does she say "I don't understand the question." Dj'ing is like that. Can I convey to the crowd what I am saying in a clear way or is my set of music coming off scattered and confusing? I am learning how to have better conversations with my horses and my crowds. I am learning just because something isn't working that doesn't mean give up on it, it just means I need to find a better way to express it. Can I ask my horse for a flex at the poll and get the right answer? Did I convey what I wanted properly? Can I ask for more people to come out to the dance floor and dance? Did they understand the music's flow? I think about how to have better conversations, because without conversation, you are just being silent and someone else is talking at you, or vice versa.

About Me

This blog is about life on a farm and all the good and bad things that are a part of it. The farm is in a small town in Maine. We have horses, goats, chickens, turkeys, guinea hens and of course dogs and cats. The days are long and sometimes the nights seem longer but my little family and I seem to make it work here and we hope to keep making it work here as long as we can.
